Stephen Roach.  In 1980, America’s net international investment position — the broadest measure of the accumulated claims that the US has on the rest of the world less those that the rest of the world has on the US — stood at a surplus of $360 billion. By the end of 2003, that surplus had morphed into a deficit of -$2.4 trillion, or 24% of US GDP. This transformation from the world’s largest creditor to the world’s largest debtor is, of course, a direct outgrowth of year after year of ever widening current-account deficits. He points to estimates that this could grow to 40-50% of GDP by 2008. 8:05:07 AM    Comment_ Trackback []
